An equation of the form ax + by + c = 0 where a ≠ 0, b ≠ 0, c = 0 represents a straight line which passes through:

A. (0, 0)

B. (3, 2)

C. (2, 4)

D. None of these

Answer: Option A

Solution (By Examveda Team)

ax + by + c = 0
Where c = 0, a ≠ 0 & b ≠ 0
∴ ax + by = 0
Since ax + by = 0, therefore x = 0 & y = 0
Therefore, the straight line passes through (0, 0)
